yes, you misunderstood: I do not describe the circuit, that creates a
gate at a CV change. I assume, that this circuit already exists (the
others made suggestions already - let it be any quantizer).

I describe the circuit, that converts the rate of these gates into a
control voltage. Basically this is a frequency to voltage converter.

Lets get back to your original mail. You have two requests:

You defined the problems in the wrong order. The correct order is:

First you have to create a trigger at each change of the incoming CV.
This is what the quantizers can do.

Now that you have these triggers, you can count the time between two
triggers coming from the quantizers and convert the digital value (which
corrsponds to the time) into a CV.

PS: I still did a small mistake in my description: the resulting voltage
will be the higher the slower the triggers do repeat. To get a real F->V
conversion you have to invert the voltage and then add an offset voltage
to the inverted CV.
But all that is theory. Usually one would not build that with separate
modules, but would implement it in a single (diy-)module. The you can
avoid also the inversion thing.
